    I couldn't access the forum this morning. This message appeared:

    Connection Problems
    Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later.

    Is this normal? I just wanted to let you guys know.

    Same thing here.
    Of course it's not normal, I'm often on forum around this time of the day and it was first time I had this error

    I'll bring this to the admin's attention, but I'm assuming it was briefly down for maintenance this morning. :D

    If you see it again, or consistently, please PM me and let me know.

    Let's hope it doesn't happen to often, but if the admin already knows about this, I'm sure we can all sleep soundly tonight. ;)

    p.s. It never happened to me by the way...

    Yeah When I got back on there were only 4 people on so it was a server wide problem. Probably maintenance.
